Does Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate), when prescribed for PCOS to be taken daily for 10 days starting on the 16th day of the menstrual cycle, function as a contraceptive, or is it still possible to achieve pregnancy during this treatment?

Asked by Female, 18 · 9 days ago

When taken cyclically for 10 days starting on day 16, Deviry (medroxyprogesterone acetate) does not act as a contraceptive. Its purpose in PCOS is to help regulate your menstrual cycle, not to prevent pregnancy. Therefore, it is still possible to become pregnant while on this treatment. If you are hoping to avoid pregnancy, it is important to use a reliable non-hormonal barrier method, like condoms, during this time. If you are trying to conceive, please let your doctor know so they can guide you safely.
